Definition and role of hydraulic balance
Hydraulic balance, as the name implies, refers to the balanced distribution of liquid pressure in the brake system. Its purpose is to ensure that each tire in the Brake Master Cylinders can brake at the same pressure, so as to achieve smooth deceleration and precise control of the vehicle. If the hydraulic balance is unbalanced, it will lead to uneven braking force, which will affect the driving stability of the vehicle.
The role of hydraulic balance is reflected in the following aspects:
Ensure braking safety: Hydraulic balance imbalance will cause excessive braking force on one side of the braking system, which may easily cause the vehicle to deviate from the driving trajectory, or even cause loss of control, increasing the risk of accidents. Good hydraulic balance can ensure the stability of the vehicle during braking and avoid dangerous situations such as skidding or rollover.
Improve controllability: Hydraulic balance enables the braking system to accurately respond to the driver's instructions when working, ensuring that the vehicle can brake stably under various driving conditions, especially when driving at high speed or emergency braking, good hydraulic balance is essential.
Extend tire service life: Hydraulic balance can ensure that each tire is evenly stressed, avoid excessive wear of the tire on one side, and thus extend the service life of the tire. Otherwise, uneven braking force will lead to increased tire wear and increase the frequency of tire replacement.
Relationship between Brake Master Cylinders and Hydraulic Balance
As the core component of the braking system, the size and design of Brake Master Cylinders directly affect the realization of hydraulic balance. The sizes of brake master cylinders provided by CHENKAI Brake Co., Ltd. range from 17.46 mm to 42.86 mm, covering the needs of different types of vehicles from passenger cars to commercial vehicles. The selection of brake master cylinders is crucial to the stability of the hydraulic system, especially in controlling the balanced distribution of braking force, which is specifically manifested in the following aspects:
Relationship between size and hydraulic pressure: The inner diameter of Brake Master Cylinders determines the generation of hydraulic pressure. A larger inner diameter can generate higher hydraulic pressure, which is suitable for heavy vehicles and high-performance vehicles; a smaller inner diameter is suitable for general passenger cars. Choosing the right master cylinder size helps to generate hydraulic pressure that matches the vehicle's braking needs, thereby achieving hydraulic balance.
Adapting to the requirements of different models: The brake systems of different models have different hydraulic requirements. For passenger cars, a smaller master cylinder can provide sufficient hydraulic pressure to ensure the stability of daily driving; while for commercial vehicles or heavy vehicles, a larger master cylinder can provide stronger braking force to ensure the braking effect during heavy loads or long driving.
Balance of brake response: The size of the Brake Master Cylinders not only determines the size of the hydraulic pressure, but also affects the response speed of the brake system. A larger master cylinder can provide a faster braking response, but if the size is too large, it may cause the hydraulic pressure to be too concentrated, resulting in uneven braking effect. Choosing the right size can ensure the balance of the response speed and brake pressure of the brake master cylinder, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the vehicle's braking system in actual driving.
How to ensure hydraulic balance
Ensuring the realization of hydraulic balance not only depends on the size selection of the Brake Master Cylinders, but also requires comprehensive consideration of the following factors:
Professional selection and matching: When purchasing Brake Master Cylinders, professional selection must be made based on factors such as vehicle type, weight, and braking requirements. CHENKAI Brake Co., Ltd. provides detailed product specifications and applicable vehicle model recommendations to help customers choose the suitable brake master cylinder to ensure the realization of hydraulic balance.
Regular inspection and maintenance: The quality, level and sealing of the hydraulic oil will affect the hydraulic balance. Regular inspection and replacement of hydraulic oil to ensure that the system is leak-free and in good working condition can effectively avoid the imbalance of hydraulic balance.
Suitable accessories selection: In addition to the brake master cylinder, other key components of the brake system such as brake calipers, wheel cylinders, etc. should also choose suitable accessories to ensure the hydraulic balance of the entire system.
